To all whom it may concern: 1 Be it known that we, FRED FIELDING and THOMAS POTTER, Jr., both British subjects. residing at Oldham, in the county or Lancaster, England, have inventedcertam new and useful Improvement in Antiba-llooning and the like Devices for Ringfipinning and Doubling Frames, (for which we have filed application in Great Britain Feb. 14, 1919, Patent No. 138,432,) of which the following is a specification. p I This invention relates to that type of antiballooning and like devices for-ring spinnlng and doubling frames WlllCh comprise chiefly an annular member located concentrically a short distance above the ring and means for securing said member to the ring rail.

This invention has for its object to sim pliiy and so form and applysaid'annular anti-ballooning member that the ends wlll be more efliciently controlled, remain better separated and be kept cleaner than hitherto has been the case and the device will also serve as a dirt catcher. Said annular antiballooning member according to this invention is located in Very close proximity to the traveler ring and is rim shaped and has at the back a rearwardly extending band or arm adapted to be secured to asupport serving also as a dirt catcher usually employed between each two rings or similarly shaped means projecting vertically from the ring rail. s v

e attain this object by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1, is a cross section and Fig. 2, a plan of a. ring rail fitted with anti-ballooning members constructed and applied to the ring rail in accordance with this invention.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the various views.

Referring to the figures generally, 0 is the ring rail, d are the rings, a the anti-ballooning members; and 2' is the dirt catcher.

The rear 01: each anti-ballooning member is formed with a radial band or arm 70 by which said members are pairwise jointly secured to eyes m formed on to the top of said.

support and dirt catcher z, secured to the ring rail 6 between each'two rings d,

traveler rings considerably reduces the centri'lugal force and consequent friction on the thread as well as between the traveler and the ring and facilitates the thread being wound on the bobbin or cop more evenly, smoother and regular and produces a greater length of thread to be wound on to the bohbin or cop than when the controlling ring is a great distance above away from the traveler ring.-

1. An anti-ballooning device of the hereinbefore specified type, comprising pairs of annular flat sectional thread controlling rings concentrically located in very close proximity above the traveler rings and having each integrally a rearwardly extending arm, a member located between each pair 01 said annular rings secured to the ring rail member, said annular rings in relation to the ring on the rail, for the purpose specified.

2. An antrballooning dev1ce as claimed 1n claim 1, comprising a support having two eyes, an annular ring having an arm with a radial slot and bolts extending through said slot and the eyes of said ember, for the purpose specified.
